1. Kucinich. He's my sympathetic favorite. I don't think he will win the nomination, but if he makes it to my state (SC) I'll vote for him on principle alone.

2. Dean. He's my second choice. I don't really think he's all that progressive. On some issues, he's downright centrist, but he motivates the left and I believe he has the best vision of all the frontrunners.

3. Kerry. I like him. He has his flaws, but he also has the credentials to take on dubya. If you look at him on the issues, he's at least as liberal as Dean. On some issues maybe more liberal.

I haven't worked out a detailed list on the rest of the field. I think having a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at this point is good enough.
